Chapter 445 In contrast, I am more worried about the emperor
"The Queen Mother must have read it wrong. A commoner's daughter has never been to the capital before. This is the first time."
"Oh, that means there is something wrong with the Ai family's eyes." The Queen Mother showed a look of regret on her face. Then she thought of something and asked Shen Qingqing in a gentle voice:
"Son, after we get rid of that stinky Sikyong, how about you go to Zhaixing Pavilion and become Da Qi's national preceptor? Then we can play horse tags together."
Shen Qingqing smiled politely, "What a coincidence, civilian girls don't know how to play that."
"If you don't know how, Aijia can teach you. It's very simple. You can learn it after watching a few games."
As soon as the horse tag was mentioned, the Queen Mother felt as if she had been given a shot of chicken blood, full of fighting spirit, "Ai Jia is the best card player in the whole Ci'an Palace. With Ai Jia here, I will keep you going for three days, and you will be invincible in ten days."
"
"During the festival last year, I didn't know who lost the card, and I was so angry that I didn't even have dinner." Gu Jiali tried to discredit her.
"No wonder some people in their twenties still can't find a wife. It's no wonder that a girl likes you because of your bad mouth!"
The Queen Mother gouged him out angrily, lowered her head and saw the bamboo shoot crawling out along with the dirty blood. She quickly grabbed Shen Qingqing's arm and asked: "Look, it's out! Is everything going to be okay like this?"
"Let me take a look." Shen Qingqing casually pulled a piece of gauze and pinched the bamboo shoots. He patrolled around, but there was no trace of other insects. He shook his head to the two people behind him with a stern face, "No poisonous insects were found."
"Does that mean he was poisoned?" the Queen Mother asked.
"Not necessarily. It's also possible that Sikyong collected the bugs before we came in."
Just when the situation reached a deadlock, Grandma Kong, who was guarding the collapse, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Sir Gu, the Emperor is awake."
Several people in the room looked back at the man on the couch at the same time. The emperor was awake, but due to the severe ulcers all over his body, he could not move even if he woke up, and he could only squint his eyes.
The Queen Mother looked at his pitiful appearance of trying to open her eyes, her nose felt sore, and tears immediately wet her eyes. At first she wanted to blame him, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn't even speak. In the end, she simply covered her face and burst into tears.
.
The emperor turned his head to look at her with difficulty, and opened and closed his lips to say: "Mother... please don't cry... my son is fine."
His voice was extremely hoarse, and he had to take a breath every two words, which made people feel sour in their hearts.
Gu Jiali squatted in front of the bed and took his hand regardless of the dirt, "Your Majesty, please listen to me. The Queen and the Imperial Counselor have evil intentions. In order to ensure your safety, please immediately send an order to mobilize troops to guard the Chengdu."
In Qian Palace, the Queen is prohibited from entering or leaving the people in Zhaixing Pavilion, and at the same time, ministers are called into the palace to attend to the illness."
"I will tell you the specific reasons when your situation improves. Now, please do as I say."
The Queen Mother hurriedly wiped away her tears and choked back her voice: "Listen to Gu Shitou, he is a good boy and will not harm you."
The Emperor's eyes flicked up to look at the Queen Mother, then slowly back to look at Gu Jiali, who was kneeling beside the bed with a sincere expression. There was a flash of doubt in his eyes, but he still nodded with difficulty and said softly: "Okay."
After receiving the emperor's approval, Gu Jiali immediately began to arrange the defense arrangements for the Chengqian Palace, and at the same time summoned all the imperial doctors who had been treating the emperor in the past few days.
After arranging everything, he could finally take a breath with relief. When he turned around, he saw Shen Qingqing standing in front of the hall worriedly and looking into the distance, with no trace of relaxation on her face.
"Still worried about the third prince?" Gu Jiali walked to her side and asked.
After asking, he explained: "The emperor's physical condition is too bad now. Let him concentrate on taking care of his health for the time being. When the situation gets a little better, I will send someone to take you into the palace. It shouldn't take too long."
Shen Qingqing shook her head as she thought to herself, "I'm not worried about Yu'er. He is fine in the general's palace and nothing will happen to him as long as he doesn't run around. In contrast, I'm more worried about the emperor."
She raised her right hand and gently brushed her cheek, with a puzzled look on her face, "Things are going so smoothly... Could it be that the queen and the imperial advisor went through all the trouble just to disfigure the emperor?"
Gu Jiali frowned and fell silent.
The two stood in silence outside the palace for a while, then eunuch Baofeng led a group of imperial doctors over.
"Go in, first find out what happened these days, and we'll talk about the rest later." Shen Qingqing moved her legs that were numb from standing, tilted her head and winked at him.
The emperor in the palace fell asleep again, and they could only take turns calling the imperial doctors to the side hall for questioning alone.
The imperial doctor who was called first was named Yang. He was over fifty years old. He was considered the oldest imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital. He was trusted by the emperor. He was usually responsible for the emperor's headaches and fever.
Gu Jiali was very polite to him. He first ordered someone to move the stool, and then poured the tea into his hands. Doctor Yang was made restless by his overly kind attitude, and his hands were shaking when he received the tea.
After serving tea to others, Gu Jiali added another cup for himself. He didn't say anything after adding it, and sat on the chair to drink calmly.
He has a cold temperament, and if he keeps a straight face and doesn't speak, he looks even colder.
After drinking two drinks in succession, Imperial Doctor Yang couldn't stand it any longer and took the initiative to speak: "Master Gu, if you want to ask anything, just ask directly. I must recruit people from the truth, no, I must tell the truth."
If he keeps drinking like this, he will have a heart attack.
Gu Jiali put down the cup and asked him in a calm tone: "When did the emperor's illness begin?"
"The night eight days ago, the onset of the disease was in the middle of the night. I was sleeping soundly and was woken up by someone grabbing my ears and shouting, so I remember it very clearly."
Gu Jiali nodded and asked, "Then have you found out what disease the emperor has?"
Imperial Doctor Yang shook his head in embarrassment, "I didn't find out. It was just redness and rash at first. I thought it was because I had eaten something wrong, so I prescribed two medicines to dilute water, reduce swelling, activate blood circulation and detoxify."
"I didn't expect that the medicine didn't work at all. The rash turned into lumps on the second day. I added an additional external plaster, but it didn't work..."
Gu Jiali interrupted him and emphasized his tone: "Since we can't find out what the disease is, why not spread the word to the outside world and find a way to invite doctors outside the palace to diagnose and treat it?"
"This is the emperor's own wish." Dr. Yang knelt on the ground and explained tremblingly: "The emperor's condition only looks serious. In fact, the pulse has always been stable, and there is no danger to his life."
"He was afraid that spreading this matter would cause unnecessary panic, so he ordered several old imperial doctors from our Taiyuan Hospital to diagnose and treat him secretly, and issued a strict order not to spread the news."
Gu Jiali has been with the emperor for nearly twenty years and knows his character very well. If he puts himself in his shoes, it seems that he will indeed make such a decision.
It's just that when he made the decision, he probably didn't expect that things would turn into such a bad situation. This chapter has been completed!
